Story Time
Reading to a young child is a great time to snuggle, and that alone is a good reason to do it. But during all that snuggling, something else is taking place. A very special gift is being exchanged. Psychologists believe that in the first few months of life, all a baby knows - is what is in front of them. To a baby, if it isn't in their line of vision, it doesn't exist. Reading to a child can be their first experience with abstract thought. Their imagination is awakened with ideas and pictures that don't necessarily exist in the real world. What a wonderful gift - to teach a child to imagine!
